We went three times round the issue of SCons internals and the way Java works a few months back, you might want to check the mailing list for all the detailed points made. My take-away from the debate was that SCons and Java were mutually incompatible, and that whilst SCons can handle trivial Java projects, it will never compete with Gradle. The issue now though is that Gradle is moving in to C and C++ building which is where SCons is supposed to shine. If SCons cannot beat Gradle at it's own game then Gradle, a JVM-based system, will (ironically) be the future of C++ and D build. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
